Raptors on a roll
Toronto has been a balanced team this season, blending high-level offense with elite perimeter defense.
Offensively, the Raptors rank 12th in the NBA in scoring at 119.9 points per game and boast a top-three shooting percentage at 49.8% from the field. They are also solid from deep at 37% on three-pointers. Brandon Ingram leads the way, averaging 20.9 points per game, while Scottie Barnes adds 19.4 ppg and leads the way with 7.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game. Immanuel Quickley is orchestrating the offense with a team-best 6.1 assists per game and 15.7 ppg. Jakob Poeltl has also been a strong presence in the paint, shooting 72.3% from the field and averaging 11.3 ppg and 7.5 rpg.
Defensively, Toronto is stingy beyond the arc, allowing just 31.8% from three-point range, which is the best in the NBA. They also rank 11th in points allowed at 115.1 per game.
The Raptors are dealing with a minor injury to guard Ochai Agbaji, who is day-to-day with a back issue. Overall, the team has been consistent, going 7-2 against the spread in its last nine games.
Trusting a new process
Philadelphia is led by guard Tyrese Maxey, who has been one of the top players in the Association, averaging 32.5 points and 7.7 assists per game while providing perimeter defense. Andre Drummond averages 8.5 ppg and leads with 9.6 rebounds per game. Philadelphia’s supporting cast, including Quentin Grimes (16.8 ppg) and rookie VJ Edgecombe (15.5 ppg), has been key contributors. Veteran forward Paul George returned on Monday, scoring nine points and grabbing seven boards in Philly's 110-108 win over the LA Clippers, but is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Raptors vs 76ers Predictions
ATS Pick for Raptors vs. Sixers
- Philadelphia 76ers pick (4 units)
Philadelphia has been one of the league’s most reliable teams for bettors, going 5-2 at home and 8-2-1 in their last 11 games against the spread. Even though the Sixers rank just 21st in offensive rating over their last seven games, their defense and home-court edge have kept them consistently inside the number. Toronto has been strong lately at 7-2 ATS in its last nine, but the Raptors’ efficiency surge has been driven mostly by hot shooting and matchup-friendly spots. Philadelphia enters this matchup as the No.7 in the NBA according to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, and the Raptors are No. 14.
With Philadelphia’s ATS dominance this season and home court edge, I have to go their way.
Total Pick for Raptors vs. 76ers
- Under 233 (4 units)
The season-long scoring numbers of these teams do not tell the whole story of how they have been playing recently. Toronto’s defense ranks fourth in the league over the last seven games, while Philadelphia sits 17th during that span. Combine that with the Sixers' slumping to 21st in offensive rating recently, and this matchup sets up to be more gritty than the first meeting.
I think the Raptors' offense won't have its best game on the road, but the elite defense they have been playing will keep the 76ers and Maxey from going off too much.
While the season-long averages point toward a higher total, the recent form leans the other way. With both defenses trending upward, I like the under.
